Kate was a source of inspiration to suffragist and campaigners for equality between the sexes, both in New Zealand and throughout the world. One of the founding members, in 1885, of the New Zealand Women’s Christian Temperance Union. In 1887, when franchises of the Union were set up around the country, Sheppard was elected the national superintendent of the franchise, Ill-health made it necessary for Sheppard to decline the office of franchise superintendent of the World’s WCTU. She was elected the honorary vice president of the International Council of Women in Toronto in 1909, but was not well enough to attend the conference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
